El Otro [DVD]

A mature man, located between the coordinates drawn by his father and his wife, finds that everything that seemed to guarantee his own consistency - that is, his identity - presents symptoms of fragility. Fragile the body, fragile the affections, fragile the conscience. This man will distance himself from what until then seemed to constitute his daily life and thus, in that movement of detachment, investigate fragility. A usual half-day business trip to the interior of the country turns into another trip. Upon arriving at his destination, Juan Desouza discovers that the man traveling next to him does not wake up. Secretly, almost like a game, he decides to take on this man's identity, invent a profession, get a place to sleep: the possibility of not returning. The possibility of being another, of being many. In his new free days, in a state of availability, man will, without knowing it, make a kind of journey towards nature and the reunion of his tastes, his basic instincts, trying to embrace the idea that the life he was given and who chose to live, is not the only possible one...
